Washington as reimposed the u. N. Sanctions against iran which were in place before the 2015 nuclear deal that move has put the u. S. At odds with some of its closest allies though germany france and of the u. K. Have pushed back saying america has no authority to reinstate United Nations sanctions unilaterally and the u. N. Secretary general has refused to follow up on the u. S. Declaration citing legal uncertainty but secretary of state might bump has threatens penalties against any country that continues to trade with iran. We need cheated the snapback process to restore virtually all previously terminated un sanctions if United NationsMember States feel to fulfill their obligations to implementing these sanctions the United States is prepared to use our domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures and ensure that iran does not reap the benefits of un prohibited activity france germany and the United Kingdom know that the u. S. Ceased to be a participant in the way following their withdrawal from the deal on the 8th of may 2018 consequently the purported notification is incapable of having legal effect we remain guided by the objective of upholding the authority and integrity of the United Nations security council. The original un sanctions covered uranium enrichment as well as buying the selling condemned conventional weapons they were lifted 5 years ago under the nuclear deal however in 2018 the trumpet ministration withdrew from the pact washington says it is now taking action because an arms embargo on your iran expires in october irans president Hassan Rouhani has denounced the move saying his country will never give in to pressure while the nations Foreign Ministry urged washington to have a rethink. Pyometra head on the washing tone tehrans message to washington is clear return to the Global Community return to your implication stop the rebellion and then the Global Community will accept you but we heard from political analyst izadi he thinks the us is getting drivelling support in its approach to iran. In partners its been said that premise. The us is isolated in the unusual manner and whats going to happen is that the us is going to use force to pressure other countries to accept the good interpretation of the Un Resolution 2231 and a few countries are going to accept that the us has a history of water mongering so you always have to be careful but the United StatesForeign Policy so we have this. Conflict escalating if we hope that president is not interested in the. Scenario you behind the cold he should know not to engage in any military activities against iran advances by the. Russian opposition figure alexina vali continues to recover at a hospital in berlin after coming out of an induced coma but the diplomatic standoff between moscow and berlin over his alleged poisoning has only gotten worse on monday germany said labs in sweden and france had independently verified that the volley was poisoned by a nerve agent from the nova child group the Global Chemical weapons watchdog is also analyzing the samples russia has requested that information on the ongoing case be shared but so far to no avail. With their excuses are completely contrived germany says it cant tell us anything in direct says to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons but weve been to the obesity w. Several times and they say talk to berlin we are ready to talk to anyone but not when in the absence of facts we are pressured into giving an account of ourselves on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns we are always ready to have a professional conversation. Russia insisted doctors found no trace of nova charcoal or any other poison while the volley was in their care moscow has repeatedly stressed its willingness to cooperate with germany to establish exactly what happened r. T. C. What is done of looks now at the controversies surrounding the case. Election of ali is recovering whatever it was killing his body is on retreat and the politician seems to be almost out of these woods so concerns over his health make room for concerns over what exactly happened and europe is demanding that russia aids the investigation installations arise which only the russian government can and must answer we continue calling to investigate our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina valmy die in the 1st crucial hours after the politician fell sick russia contributed by opening its airspace to a team of german doctors letting them visit russia contributed by eventually putting him on a german rescue plane allowing never need to be airlifted to berlin and by offering its medical data to german colleagues so now russia says the ball is in germanys court moscow current aid the investigation if its kept in the dark on emerging evidence to the press with enough when it all all this is taking place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sought out would. Happened ive been dismissed and a far fetched pretexts thats hurdles are brought into the race because berlin starts playing a game of all take and no give russia can get the results of the expertise made in german labs since it will reveal too much of the german armys capabilities too much but only to russias eyes apparently because berlin had no problem with sharing its data with almost 200 other nations Member States of the or b c w we are very negatively the fact that germany refusing to assist the russian Law Enforcement agencies secretly transferred no boundaries test data to its trusted partners it is clear that this was done with a political purpose so that france and sweden would automatically confirm berlins unfounded accusations against russia but wait russia is a member state of the o. P. C. W. And that means it finally has all the time in the world to scrupulously study everything the germany could find right wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can hop on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it can get everything from the or b c w and the or p c w seeing the exact opposite bumping russia right back to berlin russia is in a loop which doesnt really help o. P. C. W. s reputation with moscow as russia had previously accused the un bad watchdog of becoming politicized bureaucracy dont you like so Many International commands ations its always great to be subject to political pressure and thats critically from of course those the fund it largely funded thats largely the western powers weve seen with the p. C. To abuse role in interest to go to alleged Chemical Attacks in syria but its investigations have tended to ascribe blame has been riddled with these. Inconsistences and problems that will not rise in independent investigation but there appears to be scope for political interference and pressure to close we saw a similar situation in respect to the house where. It was very reluctant to share its information with russian or specter what do you have to discover in terms of chemical analysis and so on giving no access to evidence keeping waters murky playing every bureaucratic trick in the book this is how the e. U. Is shutting out russias investigators also raising the sanctions guillotine over the country almost like it wants a no investigation from russia but an immigration admission of guilt. This video was posted some days ago on the vollies Instagram Account it shows d his team searching his hotel room in tomsk shortly after he fell sick where in surgical gloves they collected evidence and plastic bags which according to the post were passed on to the German Authorities one of the Water Bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of novacek weve spoken to the cocreator of that very nerve agent who claims if it was used in a valley would not have made it to the airplane. Wouldnt have been able to leave the hotel thats if it was normal joke and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in small or not very toxic doses provokes pupil contraction in such a way a person would be almost blind so could barely move so even with only very mild exposure he wouldnt have been able to get on a plane there are photos of him in the hotel in the plane in the russian hospital and yet we cant see any of the symptoms poisoning and novacek and not words to use for this case. Thats right they definitely would get something they had just simple gloves and that seat and also imagine a bottle that has traces of the substance on the outside it would be a very smart person trying to fill a book with such a dangerous liquid and spill it all down the signs creating a dangerous situation for everyone. A small group of wealthy nations has already bought up all future supplies of covert 1000. 00 vaccines which are currently at the Research Stage thats according to a report by the Oxfam Charity it means that only 13 percent of the worlds population will initially have access to the drugs max lawson the head of oxfam inequality policy division says pharmaceutical companies are putting profits 1st. Its extremely dangerous for the world because rich nations monopolizing the superboy of potential banks and more importantly theyre doing deals with big corporation. Defending their intellectual property and appropriate meaning that the soup lowing all banks. Own. Oxfam says there wont be enough vaccine doses to meet Global Demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates are currently undergoing stage 3 Clinical Trials however even if all 5 proved to be a success which according to the charity is extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the worlds population will still have to wait until 2022 at least on top of potential drug shortages oxfam says quote the vaccine deals lay bare the inequality between a prosperous and developing countries. Now to give you an example the u. K. Has managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course on how the trials go now bangladesh for example in stark contrast the figure is only one dose per 9 people max lawson again says that prolonged on availability of the vaccine in some countries will result in many unnecessary deaths. In the us are only sending them back into very rich countries they said again at a very high price somewhere between 16. 00 and 35. 00 a dose and you have to have 2 doses so thats like 70 dollars per person so they have barry clear that they theyre doing needs to make a profit and they want to make money from this maxine what were saying is we need a peoples backs not a profit back saying we need to see. The breaking down of the patent barriers and we need to see open sharing your banks in technology to maximize the supply. And effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible the huge economic and human cost of it did in the variability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa brazil if these countries and not getting access to safe in saying until 2022 then they would have more lockdowns their economies would be huge trouble many many people would dog i do not need to because the vaccine has been artificially russian and private profits of pharmaceutical corporations. Still the come this hour the israeli Prime Ministers it decision to send the country into a 2nd lockdown has caused widespread anger even on the beach that story much more after a short break this is r t international. Same wrong all. Just dont all. Get to shape out just being educated and in the game equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Chance to look for common ground. Welcome back this is or to international now the shortage of covert 19 testing in the u. K. Has led teachers to question the safety of reopening schools peoples and staff are among those struggling to get checked arties ali reports. It wasnt so long ago that senior british politicians were promising that it was safe for children to finally go back to school i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school its much much better for their for their health and Mental Wellbeing their jobs their educational prospects weve made it clear this is compulsory parents do need to be sending their children back to school all scientific advice is that schools are safe its only a few weeks into the new terminal ready those claims are coming unstuck one Teaching Union is warning that education secretary Gavin Williamson may face legal action because they say schools were opened without proper safeguards being put in place teachers of sounding the alarm but a chronic lack of Testing Facilities means that you cant get in england make way to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home School Managements have been doing everything they chant but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to go social distancing isnt possible in full class sizes i mean infection rates are going up so we have an absolutely chaotic situation where understandably and correctly pupils and staff are being sent home and they have potential sitting timbs but nobody knows if its just a cold or coverage and its a complete loss story and of course the danger is that they will be some situations where in fact we did have an infectious child in this go but nobody knows because we cant get a test to check one way or the other facing the lack of testing more than 200 school and College Leaders said stuff and pupils couldnt book tests locally and were being directed to test centers long distances away and with the government mandating no more than 6 people to meet at a time that encouraging students to get back into the classroom your thirtys acknowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has a small supply of home test kits for those. Teachers that conduct says a Testing Center teacher who tested positive had to wait 2 weeks for her results i dont deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access to tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one union need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so in fear of the country could go back into defacto lock down once more children are being sent home who cannot get tests and parents are being forced to take 2 weeks off to look after them we will end up with an effective lockdown there is an escalating sense that they would end up with a return to lockdown by default its not just with regard to the testing the schools are finding themselves short they also appear to lack the basic hygiene the citys nearly a 3rd of teachers didnt know if theyd have adequate supplies of soap and water while just 18 percent had had from the tides in every class from its left parents to question how they supposed to feel that their children will be safe in school when teachers themselves dont seem all that convinced misuse to keep schools open. Clear of they have to be violent and one of the fun things. Is that you know. Im selftaught and its. Not east its eccentricity versus thing you stance with not remind you know they have a duty we need they need. And obviously weve been seeing which. Israel entered a 2nd National Lockdown on friday which is expected to last at least 3 weeks the anti covert measure came into force just hours before the
